Memo to Jimmy Carter: Islam was militant on your watch, too
Absolute Rights ^ | 01/16/2015 | Jon E. Dougherty

In recent interviews former President Jimmy Carter has once again taken to blaming Israel for all that is wrong in the Middle East. Carter, to his mind, has always viewed the Jewish state as ultimately being responsible not simply for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but for the “unrest” that is historically endemic to the region. Islamic extremism, he has intimated, exists because Israel does.

In no less a non-serious venue as Comedy Central, Carter told host Jon Stewart that “the Palestinian problem” is part of the reason why terrorist attacks like that which took place last week in Paris.

“Well, one of the origins for it is the Palestinian problem, you know,” Carter said, in response to a question from Stewart asking what the former Democratic president was driving such attacks. “And this aggravates people who are affiliated in any way with the Arab people who live in the West Bank and Gaza – what they’re doing now, what’s being done to them. So I think that’s part of it.”

Jimmy, needs to finger point. When will jimmy blame God, for the forbidden fruit given to Adam from Eve? How far back should any blame be given, jimmy?

LOL. Senile old Jimmy strikes again. I wonder if he means that France occupies the West Bank, or does he mean that if Israel leaves the West Bank, cartoonists will be able to draw cartoons about Mohammad again.

IIRC, Islam revealed Jimmah Cahtah to be what he is - a fool and a coward. Perhaps we should thank them because got Ronald Reagan largely as a reaction to Carter’s imbecility.

IRAN. Hey Jimbo Carter, the way you mishandled the entire hostage crisis over there made us weak in the eyes of militant Islamists everywhere and emboldened them to be the force they are today.

Yes lets not forget that the pathetic twit could not even rescue 40 hostages. Then as soon as the Iranians heard Ronnie was elected they let the hostages go because they knew Reagan would be coming for them.

One of the very best investments the Saudi islamonazi royal family ever made — buying jimmy’s big filthy mouth. The investment that just keeps giving and giving and giving and giving —

Actually it was when the anti-semitic old coot betrayed the Shah of Iran and encouraged the return of the Ayatollah Khomeini from France that began a lot of the current problems.

While we’re on the subject of jimmy’s accomplishments, let’s not forget that he gave away the Panama Canal and also made the teacher’s union a cabinet post ala the Dept of Education which has been going down the terlit ever since.

That's it, exactly! Jimmy Carter opened the door for Ayahollah Khomeini to take over Iran, and look what that got us. Seems we can lay everything concerning islamic terrorism from now back to 1980 solely at the democrats' feet! :)
